This #GivingTuesday, help us save a life to touch countless others.

The leading cause of death for people under 50 is overdose. Today we celebrate the hard work and dedication being invested to change that, to save more lives. Thank you for your commitment, @SenatorDurbin.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Glad to meet with advocates & health professionals at @RecoverGateway in Chicago to discuss major opioid legislation signed into law yesterday. I worked to include several key provisions to help address both causes and effects of the nation’s worst-ever drug overdose epidemic.

“Less than 15 percent of people who need treatment actually get it. The important piece for me is that we’re steering away from language that prevents people from coming forward.” - Aurora Executive Director Jim Scarpace

“Stigma” or “Discrimination.” Which word is more likely to help change laws? https://t.co/xk0crpypMP

[Alex Azar @SecAzar]

Addiction is a public health challenge that must be confronted with compassion, urgency, and the right treatment. We need to remove the stigma that we know is preventing so many from seeking the help that they need. Watch their stories: https://t.co/vC71L1cSoL

@ReillyConnect @RecoverGateway @BootstrappingIA @tombritton Thank you for the message. I have an incredible team that works hard every day to save lives, from our counselors to our administrative staff.
